posted on by Karen Ressler
This year's 10th issue of Shogakukan's Sho-Comi magazine will announce the cast for the Nintendo 3DS game based on Gō Ikeyamada's Kobayashi ga Kawai Sugite Tsurai!! (Kobayashi Is So Cute That It's Painful!) manga on Monday. The cast includes:
- Ayahi Takagaki as Megumu Kobayashi and Mitsuru Kobayashi
- Daisuke Ono as Aoi Sanada
- Yū Serizawa as Azusa Tokugawa
- Shōta Aoi as Chiharu Uesugi
- Tatsuhisa Suzuki as Erio, an game original character designed by Ikeyamada
The cast, aside from Suzuki, is returning from the drama CD adaptation. Ono also starred in the OVAs that bundled with the third and sixth volumes of the manga.
Ikeyamada is supervising the game's story and characters, and the game will feature original scenarios for Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine's Day.
The manga's story revolves around twin brother and sister Mitsuru and Megumu Kobayashi who switch places and attend the other sibling's school. Things get strange when Megumu realizes that the school that her popular brother Mitsuru had been going to was in fact a school for delinquents. When attacked by a group of bullies, she meets a mysterious boy with an eye patch.
Ikeyamada began the manga in Shogakugan's Sho-Comi magazine in August 2012. Shogakugan released the 10th compiled volume of the manga on January 26. Ikeyamada revealed in the 10th volume that the manga was entering its final arc with the 11th volume.
Viz Media revealed last October that it had licensed the series for North America under the title So Cute It Hurts!!. The company plans to release the first volume in June.
